Winter cabin weekend

"Five of my best friends and I wanted to get away from the Twin Cities to ski for the weekend, this was the PERFECT cabin for our trip! It is the quintessential cabin home and is in such a beautiful location. We literally woke up the first morning to a sunlit view of the lake and deer in the yard. Plus, it's less than five minutes down the road to the ski hill! The kitchen is fully equipped, the towels are soft, the beds are cozy, and it's the perfect open living space to gather around the fire and play games. We are already planning our return for a summer getaway!"

Our special wedding day

"We were looking for a great place to have an outside wedding up in the North Shore area. After finding pictures on the internet, we contacted the owners of the Grand Retreat, to see if they allowed it. They did indeed, in fact they offered us a weekend to check it out ahead of time. We fell in love with the place. But because it was in December, we really couldn't scope out the land as well. So in June, when my family and I were camping in Schroeder, I asked if we could check out the property again to get a feel for the wedding layout. They aloud us to another quick visit, when there was no occupancy. When I asked for recommendations for an officient, and about catering options, they were right on it. I had answers right away, or within a day if they weren't sure. When the time grew closer to our wedding date, they were in constant contact with us offering any help we needed. Our wedding day ended up being beautiful! We created great memories in this beautiful place, with great outside pictures along the creek and wilderness type settings. The cabin was very spacious for the whole crowd and for all of us to sleep. Our family, relatives and friends were very impressed with the Grand Retreat. During our week stay, we enjoyed both indoor and outdoor fires. We enjoyed sitting on the deck over looking the back yard, listening to the sound of the creek. We also did plenty of exploring in the surounding areas. We even drove up to the border and found the beautiful waterfall of the Pigeon River, in the Grand Portage State Park. I can't wait until we can visit again. I very much recommend a family stay or even a special event here. Thanks again for the great stay here!!"

Family Vacation

"We very much enjoyed our stay at the Deer Lake cabin! The large kitchen was a natural gathering spot for the family and there was plenty of space to branch out when we had a couple of rainy days. We found plenty of large serve-ware for our big group.
The king-size bed in the master bedroom was heavenly, very comfortable. The teenage boys enjoyed having their own space in the basement with a separate entrance and the girls loved the bunk beds with privacy curtain. All the bedrooms had reading lights, perfect for snuggling in with a book before bed.
With a hose set up right next to the campfire, and a shower outside behind the sauna, much of the work normally attributed to cabin-time was removed. Perfect for larger groups!"

Perfect Ely Cabin!

"My husband and I absolutely loved our time at this cabin! We felt like we had our own little piece of isolated heaven. The cabin was nice and clean, great fire place and interior setup, and we had amazing adventures canoeing around all the islands on Burntside Lake. We would definitely come again and recommend it to everyone!"
